- Carefully unroll the tube of biscuit dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Gently press or roll the biscuits together to form a single, large rectangle. Don't worry about perfection; uneven edges add to the rustic charm!1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough
- In a small bowl, combine the packed light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and optional nutmeg. Mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the sugar.1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the entire surface of the biscuit rectangle, making sure to reach all the edges. Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered surface, pressing it down slightly so it adheres well.1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll up the biscuit dough rectangle. Try to keep the roll compact and even. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to carefully slice the log into 8 equal-sized cinnamon rolls. If the dough feels sticky, a quick dip of the knife in flour can help.1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough
- Arrange the cinnamon rolls, cut-side up, in a greased or lined 8x8 inch baking dish or small cast-iron skillet. Ensure they have a little space between them, as they will expand during baking. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are cooked through.
- While the cinnamon rolls are baking, prepare the irresistible cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and softened butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract, and then add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired drizzling or spreading consistency.4 oz cream cheese, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1-2 tablespoons milk
- Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for just a few minutes. While they are still warm, generously drizzle or spread the cream cheese frosting over the top. The heat from the rolls will help the frosting melt slightly, creating a truly decadent glaze. Serve immediately and prepare for deliciousness!4 oz cream cheese, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1-2 tablespoons milk
